Alburnett Band Reuniting to Join Iowa Rock Hall of Fame

Hampton Road are based in Alburnett and inspired by bands such as Chicago and Blood, Sweat and Tears. After a 38-year hiatus from performing, Perry and Kathy Keating, who have day jobs as an HVAC technician and an office manager, respectively, will be getting their band back together to perform a pair of reunion shows, of sorts.

It will take place this weekend, August 4-5 at the Mississippi Moon Bar and Casino in Dubuque. Tickets will be $10 per night or $15 for both and the shows will start at 5:30 p.m. For more information on these charity shows for both Friday and Saturday nights, visit the event website.

Other inductees into the Iowa Rock & Roll Hall of Fame include "Captain" Steve Soboroff of KCJJ radio in Iowa City, local music legends Karie Skogman--who will be honored with the "Women Who Rock" award, and Craig Erickson; Iowa band the Surf Zombies and more. All will be enshrined over Labor Day weekend, September 1-3 in Arnold's Park .

The Iowa Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is an outstanding institution entering its 21st year honoring local musicians with roots right here in our home state.
